Nip is an extremely well balanced blend of flavours, sweetness and bitterness complimenting each other. A true barley wine that’s smooth and warming.
First introduced into our range in 1997, Nip is a classic barley wine. The definition of the Nip suggests that it is drunk in small quantities and frequently!

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter festival i Burton-Upon-Trent. Mørk amber. Filmskum. Søt bæraroma. Smaken plommer. God fylde. Tørr, dessertvinaktig avslutning. Tørr - lett alkoholisk. Bra vintervarmer.

Gravity cask @ NWAF, Derby. Light chestnut brown. (I am slightly afraid of strong light brown beers as they often lead me astray.) No head. Smells of forest fruit and caramel. Sweet and syrupy with a bitter finish. A big ale from England’s tiniest county.
